As the 13th Prime Minister of Israel, and later the Alternate Prime Minister, Bennett navigated through tumultuous times, marking his tenure with significant decisions on domestic and international fronts. 

In this episode, we discussed the events of October 7th and the ongoing war in an attempt to understand their implications on the future of Israel and the Middle East.

When we created The Daily Wire, we didn’t do it just to get into politics; we launched this company so that we could have a marked influence on the culture of America. So when we saw what was happening with Disney, the most influential children's brand on the planet, we knew we couldn’t sit still. We immediately got to work, and announced a commitment of $100M over 3 years to launch a children's entertainment company. Just this past week, we realized the launch of that commitment, and we call it Bentkey. I was joined by my Daily Wire co founder Jeremy Boreing to talk about our journey to get here, and what we hope to achieve with our company in the future.
